Lot of CA there. Is this a Canon lens? Does the T3 have Chromatic Abberation correction? You might want to turn it on.

That is about the toughest shot you can do.  A bright light source behind some tree branches.

I tried it, and blew it.  I got the focus on the branches, but not the Moon, which was overexposed.  I think the camera's metering system was fooled somewhat.

I did give the picture some more light to bring out the branches. This is how the picture really look.

Shooting the Moon through objects can be a tough dog.  Sometimes you ge tlucky.

But never forget one thing!  Great photos are made in post, not in the camera.  If you have two main most important things it is going to be even harder.  For instance twigs and the Moon, one or the other will suffer.

 

I am glad to help if you need any tips.

Great photo.  I think you need to level the horizon some, though.

Normally I'm as much a stickler for level horizons as anybody is; but some pictures get away with it, and this is one of them. (As is your lighthouse picture that the weather man uses.)

Thanks.  I laughed at myself after I saw how the lighthouse was tilted after I posted it.  That is not the actual picture used by the news station, either, but one shot in the same continuous sequence. The posted shot is one I ran off just for the forums, and didn't a lot of post on it other than lens correction, contrast, and "Export".

 

The posted shot is color.  The station has a B&W photo, which has been straightened.  The sepia B&W treatment seems to make the storm clouds pop, which is probably why it sits behind the weatherman.
